And this one of 3 top song choices for our Eurovision song this year...just to show you why this is one of my favourite singers...she is simply amazing and could make herself world-famous. Behold - Mei Faingold

Thanks for the links. The producing of the songs seems a little flat, though; she's doing a fantastic job, yet all the instrumentalists are just sitting back, playing casually. That's not appropriate for the songs we see here.

The lyrics themselves aren't very strong, either; if you're aiming for a song with good lyrics in more than one language, hire two separate lyricists, each writing in the language they know best. Yes, it's more expensive, and it takes more time. But it yields better results when it's put in competent hands.

I was surprised at the start because traditionally the entrants from Israel don't sing in English but then it obviously switches by the second verse. To be honest it does sound like a Eurovision type song.

This is part of the "legal" issues I've mentioned. According to internal israeli eurovision committee rules - song to represent Israel must have at least 50% hebrew text in it. This basically "promised" fail of Israeli songs..as people love lyrics in songs....go figure This song had more than 2/3 of the song in english, it's part of it's success...but also a reason the second runner wanting to sue in demand to cancel this song going unfairly against strict competition rules (obeyed by 2 other competitors).

To be honest it does sound like a Eurovision type song.

Votes from abroad were for this song too. So both israelis and people from abroad clearly selected the same song. This hints of potential success of a song...at least relative to other choices.
